Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

ALWAYS CHEERFUL AND CONCERNED. GIVES EASY TO UNDERSTAND DIRECTIONS AND EXPLANATIONS

Dr Hunter has been my Dr for 18-20 years. Not sure why the negative comment but this guy is like a friend and counselor when I visit. He is down to earth and up to date on the latest medical treatment. If he is unsure of something he has forwarded me to someone better suited. No ego with Dr Hunter!!! He takes 20 min just to visit with me too. I think the world of him as he also treats my parents. If you do your best with your health then he will do his best for you. If you continue to live unhealthy then I can’t speak on that. I do know it would have to be frustrating to tell someone over and over what they could do to help theirselves and some chose to not listen. I would be fed up too. I back this man 100%!!

Dr. Hunter is my moms doctor. Over the years her health has rapidly declined.. Because she's elderly he hasn't taken close care of her giving her the attention she needs. He never took good care of my dad either. I certainly do not recommend this doctor for the ageing population. He has really let me down and my parents. WE ARE CHANGING DOCTORS!!!!

Dr Hunter is the best Dr I've ever had! After taking arthritis meds for years my kidney function was very low. To the point I was a week away from dialysis. But he worked with me until he figured out it was the nsaids hurting me. He wouldn't quit until he saved my kidneys! He is the best of the best.

Dr. Hunter has treated myself and my daughter. He listens and pays attention when you see him about what is going on with you. He has always been very respectful and great bedside manner.
